Relocated the vent tee to the other side and extended the vent hose from the convection oven. Added a block to secure the white tee and ..(the block is under the blue tape). That was it unit slid right in
Have to swap the door directions and secure the AC/DC power supply. pic to follow
It was a bit of a bear getting in into the salon but other than that very straightforward..

Shaps did you have to trim/shave any of the sides, bottom or top to make it fit? Looking forward to seeing where you mount the AC/DC power supply.

I did not have to shave anything down, though I was prepared to. @ocgrant told me i would likely need to shave less than 1/8" in width but not in my case.

I am going to mount the power supply in the space to the left of the refrigerator in the cavity where i have that access panel open in the picture of the fridge installed.
plenty of room and airflow in there it seems to me.
 
The refrigeration units I installed also have the separate converters. One thing is the converters put out heat and have fans on them which you can hear. So, I located the converters in a separate area (laundry/storage area under the galley) so the system was quieter and they didn't contribute to heat where the refer units were installed. So, plan ahead on the wiring and try to locate elsewhere. Here is what they look like -

Speaking of mounting the power supply,
does anyone think this is a bad idea? (@ttmott ?)

Great Idea - I've got my boat's security camera NVR mounted with the 3M Super Velcro; it's been that way for three years now.
If your power supplies are the same as mine there are only four little tapped holes to mount it with; not a very versatile design.
Thanks Tom, Agreed, those 4 little holes didn't seem to lend itself to anything I could do.
 
That looks great. Is it awkward opening the doors with the handles mounted at the top, especially the one for the freezer? I'm sure they located them there so that the doors could be hinged from either side.

Thanks @Captsteve427
I dont think it is awkward, just different. Lets see what wifey thinks after a weekend with it.
 
Hi, my steering seems to lock up sometimes after turning all the way starboard. If I jiggle the wheel it will free up and act normal. I first noticed a week ago. A mechanic that looked said it was helm unit, now he said could be o rings in pump. He hasn't done anything yet. Has anyone else had this issue. When it locks it feels as if you had turned all the way in one direction for a second or 2 and then release as if it never happened. It has done it 3 times in the past week. Thanks!
